This fantastic 1.2 AOTA CEU (12 Contact Hour) AOTA approved provider (NBCOT® 15 contact hour) movie course will challenge your clinical skills. Paul Bonzani MOTR, CHT is an extraordinary instructor taking you from occupation functional concepts/approaches, to anatomical considerations, to soft tissue pathology to neuroanotomy and biomechanics.

The instructor discusses common and not so common cumulative trauma disorders or repetitive strain disorders from the shoulder to the finger. Evidenced and occupation based approach to quantify implementation for CTDs. 117 page full color manual included with FAQ, photos, PP, and references.Instructional Methods include PowerPoint presentation, lecture, videos to enhance understanding . Upon successful completion of the examination (80%) your certificate will be sent via email. Mixed level course.

 Objectives

• Identify pertinent anatomic structures relating to a variety of pathologies
• Recognize the clinical symptoms and signs of common and not so common CTDs
• Determine occupation based rationale for therapy intervention for CTD
• Differentiate between tendonopathies and nerve pathologies
• Identify Neuroanatomy and biomechanics involvement relating to CTD
• Determine appropriate therapy intervention for specific CTDs
• Recognize subtle differences in pathologies and treatment techniques
